Would be nice if this holiday happened when each realm's gong was rung, and if NPCs would announce the players who opened the gates way back when.

Comentario de adamnshame

It would be great if the chance to score the Black Tank mount was available again, even just for this event.

Just 1 day sucks. Make it 3 days or so, give everyone a somewhat fair chance of participation...

Comentario de Darthdaditz2

It will be a great tribute to the much anticipated day when we all stood at the gates of AQ, waiting for them to open, only to be dc'd and unable to log on for 24 hours!

Comentario de Hemingray

I think it would have been fun to allow us to use our scarab mounts outside of AQ40 for the duration of the holiday. Or maybe the winners could ride their scarab mounts for the rest of the year outside the instance... I don't know, I just feel like there's lost potential here. What's our motivation for participating?

I know older players will remember AQ and will know where to go, but for new players that likely skipped a lot of vanilla content: you need to fly to Cenarion Hold in Silithius. Silithus is in the southwest corner of Kalimdor. You'll automatically pick up the quest.

I'm sure they've set up ports to Silithus because of the event, but I don't know. I also don't know how flight points are handled for newer players, so, for folks who have never ventured there, you need to get to Tanaris (which is in the southeast corner of Kalimdor) and head west through Un'Goro Crater and into Silithus. Follow the road west in Silithus (stay right at the fork) and you'll come to Cenarion Hold where you can pick up flight points.

I'm going to kind of ramble in the comments about what I'm figuring out as I go. The voting will take care of what's good information and what's not accurate :)

Edit: Since there's a lot of &*!@#ing in General about the PVP aspects: If you don't flag PvP (and your native realm is PvE) you can't get attacked. If you join a group on a PvP realm, you will be automatically flagged.

As you zone in, you will get a quest to visit your faction's representative near the gong, as well as another quest to kill the Colossus of Zora.

When you approach one of the Twilight Cultist camps, you will get another quest to kill 4 Summoned Templars

Another quest (which flags you for pvp) is to return 5 Silithyst to your faction's nearby camp. You CANNOT be on a mount while carrying the silithyst dust. (it's shown as a buff)

Your war effort commander will sell two things: Twilight Cultist Medallion of Station, and Twilight Cultist Ring of Lordship for 250 and 1000 Abyssal Crests respectively.

Once you zone in to Silithus you will automatically get a quest (La llamada del Escarabajo) and the rest will appear on the map, in similar fashion to world quests.

Bear in mind that all of the Alliance/Horde Qiraji Commendations that you collect go towards the overall total of each faction. Despite it being a currency, the commendations are not rewarded to individual players. The faction with the most commendations at the end of the event is the winner. So, this event is basically for bragging rights and not much else.

La llamada del EscarabajoThis quest will take you to your faction's corresponding vendor for items in this event, which can be bought with Blasón abisal which can be farmed from Twilight Cultist camps. The easiest way to do this is in a raid group through group finder. Have everyone throw their crests to a single player who then can purchase an item and summon the boss. Everyone who tags the mini boss will get the same loot. These items can be bought and used to summon mini bosses:

Upon defeat, the different mini bosses will drop other items to begin extra quests for extra faction commendations.

Next to the vendor is a "Meat Collector" who you can trade meat with for commendations as a repeatable quest. They will trade you a stack of 20 meat for 20 commendations. The meat is from various expansions:

You need to use all three before you can activate the lesser stones (they look like small pillars) to summon elementals. You need to do this 4 times, making sure that you have all 3 item buffs before doing so. One of the most annoying things about this quest is that if you have a lot of players in the area of the opposing faction you won't get credit for elemental templars which aren't tagged by your faction.

SilitistaThis quest requires you to collect 5 Silithyst dust from mounds and return it to your faction's collector in nearby camps. Horde camp at 54, 62 marked by a red beacon. Alliance camp is at 39, 46 and is marked by a blue beacon. You need to stand on top of the collector to drop off the dust. You can only carry 1 dust at a time, and you cannot be mounted as you walk it back. Speed boosts are okay though. This quest will flag you for PvP. Not particularly difficult unless you get into a brawl, but time consuming.

Pull the macro down to your action bar and spam it (3x per turn-in: once to select the quest, then twice to proceed through "Continue" and "Complete"). Each time you want to turn-in new meat, edit/save the macro with a new #. I had 22 stacks of 200 meat to turn in (20 at a time), and this sped up the process for me.

For the rest of the event info, Carmada has already typed up a very thorough mini-guide here.

So upset that the mount from this is no longer available. *que the elitist special snowflakes*

Comentario de Stephen3337

Just wanted to say it's decent exp and loot even if no achieves or toys etcetera. I brought my l64 fire mage bank alt in and it looks like the mobs all scaled up to l64 when I attacked them. Naturally because I'm rusty with the fire mage and mobs were coming at me in 3s, it was a little dicey at first. I flagged myself pvp to fight an npc that required that, and died instantly, repeatedly, to random stuff. Guessing he was scaled to 110 for the other players fighting him. Likewise, I died as fast as I could res when I tried getting the slythist. So for middling level players, probably best to stick to the pve aspects. I'm going to try rolling in with my l110 hunter and titanstrike and 2 pets and stampedes and murders of crows now... Not sure why except fun and maybe see what loot drops, since exp won't be a thing... Maybe try to get a make love not Warcraft achieve off the horde scumbags griefing my fire mage bank alt. :)

Oh yeah, Exalted something - a plate halter top thing that sells at xmog prices was the good piece of loot. I added some other appearances to my appearance collection and d/e'd those, but put the exalted something up for 9999 on the AH (two others were up there for 10-20k.).

The 'rewards' for this micro-holiday are the old rare BoE's that have a chance to drop! I managed to pick up a Teebu's Blazing Longsword while doing the Lesser Wind Stones world quest tonight. http://imgur.com/a/jVxnn

If you have started the new 7.3.5 questline and have the blade of Sargeras in Silithus, you have to speak with Zidormi and transport to the old version of Silithus to partcipate in the holiday.

Comentario de zgio

7.3.5 aka after wounding of Silithus, you need to talk to Zidormi, go back to Silithus' past to be able to participate in the event

Comentario de haylow

If you've already done the Wounding of Silithus, you can phase back to the old version by the NPC at (33.34, 80.78) to participate.
